  • The Fate of the Mentally Ill During the Second World War (1940–1945) in Troms and Finnmark, Norway Åshild Fause
    The fate of the mentally ill during the Second World War (1940–1945) in Troms and Finnmark, Norway Åshild Fause Introduction Norway was occupied by Germany in 1940–1945 and from February 1942 the Government was led by Nazi German dictatorship. As a part of their withdrawal from the eastern front, th|e Germans effectuated the scorched earth strategy in October 1944, and more than 50,000 inhabitants from the county of Finnmark and from the northern part of the county of Troms were deported southwards. Among them were some mentally ill. From the early 20th century, and until 1930, the publicly supported private care system had become the most common form of mental health care in Norway (Fause 2007, 146). Private care meant to be taken care of by private people, preferably farming families. The family received public compensation for having the mentally ill living in their home. This arrangement was administered by the medical practitioners and by the municipal poor relief, under close inspection and monitoring. Alta, Hammerfest and the western part of Finnmark were the municipalities hosting most mentally ill in private family care. In Germany, more than 300,000 mentally ill were killed during the Nazi regime’s programme of killing institutionalised patients in 1939–1945 (Meyer 1988, Burleigh 1994, Browning 2005, Gittelman 2006). The reason why this could happen in Germany is found in both the eugenic movement and economic causes (Meyer 1988, Mueller and Beddies, 2006). Hospital beds were needed for wounded soldiers. With the greatest number of German soldiers deployed in the country per head of population, it became necessary to reduce the costs in both health arrangements in general and in the mental health care arrangements in Norway (Gogstad 2005, 213).

(Foto: Vågan kommune) Svolvær 19 juni-17, revidert 11 des 2017 etter kommunestyrets vedtak i sak 102 og mekling 19 des- 17. Plankart og vurderinger er oppdatert 20 mars-18 i hht kommunestyrets vedtak i sak 102 og meklingsresultat avklart hos fylkesmannen 19 des-17. 1 1 - INNLEDNING Denne konsekvensutredning inngår som del av forslaget til arealplan med tilhørende bestemmelser, retningslinjer og ROS-analyse. Planens viktigste siktemål er å tilrettelegge for vekst og utvikling i hele kommunen. Dette er et perspektiv som gjennomsyrer kommunens planlegging. Dette har også fått som konsekvens at de viktigste vekstområder i kommunen – Svolvær og Kabelvåg – behandles i egne kommunedelplaner som må sees i sammenheng med denne arealplanen. Svolvær har sin kommunedelplan fra 2012, mens Kabelvåg skal revidere sin gamle plan fra 1995 så snart som mulig. I dette planforslaget er fokus innrettet mot kommunens 8 viktige småsteder som har sine egne skoler og servicetjenester som kan styrke den spredte bosetting og næringsstruktur som kommunen ønsker å videreføre. Kommunen satser tungt på å skape nye arbeidsplasser i skolekretsene for å opprettholde og øke befolkningsgrunnlaget der. Dette sterke fokus på vekst i kommunens ytre områder, kan bli oppfattet som konfliktfylt visavis nasjonale mål om en bærekraftig areal og transportpolitikk der sykkel og gange skal være den gjennomgående strategi for å bedre miljøet i Norge og alle lokalsamfunn. I et slikt perspektiv vil utviklingen i hele kommunen være avgjørende der aksen Svolvær – Kabelvåg vil representere den store vekstkraften.

    CRUISE REPORT MARINE GEOLOGICAL CRUISE TO VESTFJORDEN AND EASTERN NORWEGIAN SEA R.V. Jan Mayen 29.05. -08.06. 2003 by Gaute Mikalsen Torbjørn Dalhgren DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF TROMSØ N-9037 TROMSØ, NORWAY Introduction The cruise was a joint cruse between four projects at The Department of Geology, University of Tromsø. For the last part of the cruise we were joined by one scientist and tow technicians from the Norwegian Collage of Fisheries, they embarked in Andenes. Their work spanned the last two days of the cruise And is not reported here. Objectives and Projects The main objective for this cruise was to retrieve sediment cores and seismics for the projects SPONCOM, NORDPAST-2, EUROSTRATAFORM and Dr. T. Dalhgrens project (Statoil). SPONCOM: “Sedimentary Processes and Palaeoenvironment on Northern Continental Margins” is a strategic university programme at Department of Geology, University of Tromsø founded by the Norwegian Research Council. The primary goal is to assess the changes in the physical environment of the seafloor and its overlying water and ice of West Spitsbergen and North Norwegian fjords and continental margin during the last glacial – interglacial cycle. On this cruise the aim was to retrieve material from North-Norwegian fjords and the continental margin elucidating the following sub goals: 1). The chronology and dynamics of the last glaciation – deglaciation. 2). Processes and fluxes of fjord, continental shelf and – slope sedimentation. 3). Rapid palaeoceanographic and palaeclimatic changes, particularly during the last deglaciation and the Holocene. NORPAST-2: “Past Climate of the Norwegian Region – 2” is a national project founded by the Norwegian Research Council.

Nature decides both how and when to do things. National parks are established in order to protect large natural areas – from the coast to the mountains. This is done for the benefit of nature itself, for our sake and for generations to come. The national parks offer a wide range of opportunities and experiences. The natural surroundings are beautiful and varied. There is hunting, fishing, plants, birds, animals and cultural monuments.

Sami culture and tradition have left behind a wealth of traces and stories linked to the region. In old Sami culture, plants, animals and special places all possessed souls and had a considerable signi- ficance for the day-to-day life. At the edge of the national park is the highest frontier mountain in the country, the 1,776 meters high Nordsaulo. In Sami belief, this mountain was a guardian. The landscape in Junkerdal National Park provides an environment for an extremely diverse flora with a great many rare plants. The white mountain saxi- frage (Saxifraga paniculata), is found in only a few places in Norway, and of these, it is most widely distributed in Junkerdal National Park.

  • Call for Coordinators Bodo 2018
    ! CALL for COORDINATORS Young Planning Professionals’ Workshop organised as part of the 54th ISOCARP WORLD CONGRESS BODØ, NORWAY, 27 September - 1 October 2018 Cool and Connected: Planning Bodø through Urban Flows BACKGROUND The Young Planning Professionals’ Programme was initiated in 1991 at the 26th ISOCARP Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico. Since then, senior members of ISOCARP have happily – and at times perhaps a little enviously – observed the competition for admission to the workshop, the creative spirit of the workshop itself, and the enthusiastic response of the participants. It has become tradition to organise the workshops in the week preceding the annual world congress in order to provide unique opportunities to Young Planning Professionals (YPPs) to share their experiences in an attempt to resolve complex and multi-dimensional planning problems. The YPP Programme, together with workshops and intensive training programmes, has become a source of meaningful debate, and new ideas and rejuvenation for the Society; and has made a huge impact on participants’ professional lives. It has contributed towards making life-long friendships beyond borders, languages, cultures and professional backgrounds. According to this tradition, two YPP workshop will be offered this year during the 54th ISOCARP World Planning Congress, one of which will take place in Bodø, Norway. The workshop itself will take place between 27 September and 1 October, and the final presentation will be scheduled during one of the congress sessions. The workshop will be organised in partnership with Bodø Municipality. ISOCARP YOUNG PLANNING PROFESSIONALS’ WORKSHOP . ORGANISED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BODØ MUNICIPALITY . SEPT 27 - OCT 1, 2018 .

  • Natural Stone in Norway: Production, Deposits and Developments
    NGU-BULL 436, 2000 - PAGE 15 Natural stone in Norway: production, deposits and developments TOM HELDAL & PEER R. NEEB Heldal, T. & Neeb, P. R. 2000: Natural stone in Norway: production, deposits and developments. Norges geologiske undersøkelse Bulletin 436, 15-26. The natural stone industry has, during the last two decades, experienced a tremendous growth both on a global scale and within a Norwegian context. At the present time, the natural stone industry contributes significantly to total Norwegian mineral production and export. The production of larvikite is, by far, the most important part of the industry, followed by slate and metamorphic flagstone. Future reserves of these important resources are considered to be large. In addition, a diversified natural stone industry aimed for local and domestic markets is growing in most parts of the country, driven by an increased use of stone for buildings domestically, and by the need for paving stones in urban areas. There exists a considerable potential for the development of new natural stone deposits, as well as revitalising old quarries in the light of the expanding and increasingly diversified use of stone. However, the possibilities for the development of new deposits for export-oriented production is probably limited to a few geological provinces containing unique rock types. Environmental issues and land use regulations will undoubtedly influence natural stone exploitation in Norway, and there are considerable future challenges concerning the handling of waste from production, ‘peaceful’ co-existence between industry and community, and the integration of information on natural stone deposits into plans for land use.
